Legacy Park

Legacy Park is our most utilized park and a great place for the family. Legacy Park is located on Hwy N, nestled up to Dardenne Creek near Cottleville City Hall, 5490 Fifth Street, Cottleville, Mo 63304.

Legacy Park was named by former Mayor Donald Yarber who served first as an Alderman from 2002-2004 and then as Mayor from April 2004 to April 2013.   Mayor Yarber wanted this park to serve as a "legacy" to his love for public parks including a place for people to enjoy with their dogs.
